The Blooming of Delphinium by Holly Varni review

Title: The Blooming of Delphinium

Author: Holly Varni

Ch: 28

Pg: 304

Series:  Moonberry Lake

Genre: Christian fiction hint of romance

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Revell



While I loved Delphinium and her ability to sense smells with people and determining what kind of person they are. As well as the banter between her and Elliot. And the small town of Moonberry lake makes it feel like the reader lives there.

But the seniors, especially Bob stole my heart. Their shenanigans and wisdom made the book for me as they reminded me so much of the residents of the retirement home I used to work at. I wish more authors would include senior characters in their stories. The Blooming of Delphinium reminded me just how important relationships with our elderly relatives should be as well as elders in general. Not just for the wisdom but because they will keep you on your toes and keep you young.

Can’t wait to see if there’s another book in Moonberry Lake and what else the author has in store.

On Moonberry Lake is the debut novel by Holly Varni. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. As I tend to be ifffy about books dealing with the death of the characters mom. It can go one of two ways good or really bad. On Moonberry lake went very good. As grief effects everyone differently. And the book showed that.

Cora was my favorite because she was the one, I related to the most. But Widgy is a close second as well as the characters in the small town. Though the small town is in Minnesota it’s easy for anyone who spent time in a small town to relate to. Because every small has fill in the blank.

I can’t wait to read the next book from Holly.
